Scoring the Nike Air Force 1 Layers of Love from US stores the easy way

Why the Layers of Love are still a vibe in 2026

Even though we are already in 2026, the Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Layers of Love' remains one of the most sought-after seasonal releases. Originally dropped as a Valentine’s Day special, its mix of deep reds, pinks, and premium chocolate suedes gives it a timeless aesthetic that transcends a single holiday. For sneakerheads in Australia, finding these locally is nearly impossible without hitting the resale market and paying a massive markup.

More about shipping to Australia

The beauty of this pair lies in the textures. Unlike standard leather AF1s, the 'Layers of Love' edition uses high-grade materials that require a bit more care but look significantly more high-end. If you are looking to stay on top of us trends, keeping an eye on US boutique restocks is your best bet for a fresh pair.

Finding your pair at US retailers

Since regional stock in Australia and Thailand was limited, US retailers like Nike, Foot Locker, and specialty boutiques are the most reliable places to find these. However, shopping from Australia isn't always a straight line. Many of these stores do not offer direct delivery to your door, which is why using a freight forwarder is the standard move for serious collectors.

Solving the credit card block with BuyForMe

Here is the annoying part: many major US stores, including Nike and Sephora, often block international credit cards or automatically cancel orders if they see a forwarding address. It is a common hurdle that makes proxy shopping a necessity rather than a luxury.

This is where comGateway’s BuyForMe service becomes your secret weapon. Instead of you struggling with a declined transaction, we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. This effectively guarantees that your order won't get flagged or cancelled, ensuring those 'Layers of Love' actually make it to our warehouse. It is the safest way to shop difficult stores without the headache of multiple failed attempts.

Estimating your shipping to Australia

Before you hit the buy button, it helps to know what the journey from the US to Australia will cost. You can always use our shipping calculator for real-time rates, but here is a quick breakdown for a standard sneaker box.

A note on Volumetric Weight: While a single pair of shoes is relatively light, the box takes up physical space. If you decide to buy multiple pairs or add heavy clothing to your order, the cost might be calculated based on the box size rather than the weight. To save money, you can use our consolidation service to remove unnecessary outer packaging.

Managing import tax and international shipping

When you use international shipping to bring goods into Australia, you need to be aware of the import tax rules. As of 2026, most goods under AUD $1,000 are subject to GST, which is usually collected at the point of sale or during the shipping process. If your haul exceeds $1,000, additional duties may apply.

We work with premium carriers like DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping to ensure your package arrives in Australia quickly and safely. Before you ship, make sure to check our list of prohibited items to ensure your entire order is eligible for transit.

Simplified steps to get your sneakers

Getting your hands on limited editions doesn't have to be a full-time job. Here is the lazy method to getting it done:

• Step 1: Sign up for a tax-free US address at comGateway.
• Step 2: Use the BuyForMe service if the store blocks your Australian card.
• Step 3: Once your shoes arrive at our warehouse, we notify you.
• Step 4: Choose your preferred shipping speed to Australia and pay the fees.
• Step 5: Relax while your AF1s head to your doorstep.
